I don’t think there are enough sequins April 18, 2008
So I mentioned a couple weeks ago that I made a trip to Value Village - Chuckles likes to look through the t-shirts there. Usually I just look through the books, but this particular Value Village didn’t have much of a selection. I figured I would take a look through their tops - hopefully find a discarded Banana Republic blouse…or, even better, a Marc Jacobs dress. Of course, I had no such luck, BUT I did find this…well, I’m not really sure how to describe it. At first I called it a cape, but I have since decided it is more of a poncho. A sequined poncho. It was only $5 and I didn’t buy it…because I am a moron. But it might still be there…Anyway, I took pictures because I knew my description of it would not do it justice:
And the close-up:
I was thinking I could wear it for Halloween, but I’m not sure what I would be. Do you think one of the Golden Girls would have worn it? Maybe I could be some sort of superhero with it - whatever I am I think it should involve a martini.
I’m sorry, but what’s the question. That’s clearly the whimsical butterfly wing cape thing that you’ll wear when you go out to your next rave and you’ll wear it with torn fishnets and knee high boots and cat whiskers painted on your face. Sheesh.
You could be um..Poncho McPoncherson? I got nothing.
Yeah…I’m actually kind of glad you didn’t buy that! I mean, when would you ever wear it!? When!
Absolutely buy that thing first thing in the morning. It’s a fucking gem!
You could be an angel, you could be Mrs. Howell from Gilligan’s Island, you could be a hooker…it is a multi-purpose atrocious garment my friend and I am jealous that you found it and not me.
melissa - Geez, I am such a moron. I mean, of course, my next rave - I had to check my calendar, but it appears I do have one approaching.
rs27 - Poncho McPoncherson? I wonder what else I would wear for this costume - or would it just be the poncho?
Crissy - So many ideas!! Yes, I will have to go tonight - keep your fingers crossed that they still have it!!
On a completely unrelated note - It is snowing here right now. BOO!!! HISS!!!
Why is it so damn cold in the Pacific Northwest? Hail today in Portland. Come on people. I’m dying.
Definetely Dorothy Zbornak. Hysterical!
Exinator- How can you say you’re glad I didn’t buy it? I’d wear it all the time - to the grocery store, family dinners, clubbing. It is a very versatile piece of clothing.
Melissa - There is still snow on the ground. I am upset.
Tipp - Of course Dorothy! Now I just need to find three other people to be the rest of the crew.
Oh my that is quite a bargain. Very….sparkly and bold. Totally can be dressed up or down
everything should involve a martini
